The bacterium (SV) is rarely identified in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract and has been associated with diverse clinical presentations. We aimed to characterize the clinicopathologic features of SV in the GI tract. Seventeen specimens (3 gastrectomy and 14 biopsy specimens) with histologic diagnosis of SV were identified and analyzed.
